Hello, everybody, and welcome to this episode of True crime. Time for August 8, 2026. And I'm Woody Overton, and it's Saturday, and I'm on pins and needles every day waiting on Hashtag, what happened to Madison. And so we shall see. It may have already happened, y', all, because I'm recording this early because my little sweet baby, my grandbaby's coming in from California, and she's 2. She turned 2 on Thursday, and we're having her party today. And down in Belches. And so Popo, that's what she calls me, set up Pawpaw. Popo is so very excited. Now, that being said, I'm bringing recording equipment with me. And if hashtag what happened to Madison or hashtag just for Haley or anybody else, Ms. Barbara Blunt, Bradley Strafes, or any. Any case that I've ever worked on, if anything happens, I'm going to bring it to you live. If I got to go live from a cell phone. All right? So I don't know who is more awaiting news more eagerly than you all and me other than the victims families. All right, that being said, let me just bless your Saturday. And on this day in 1973, Elmer Henley. Oh, Mr. Elmer. He shot and killed Dean Corll, who's otherwise known as the Candyman. Corll had brutally raped and killed at least 28 young men with the help of Henley and another young man named David Brooks. So the three of them would get together, and they lured young men with candy, alcohol, or drugs and brought them to Corll's house for money. Coral had turned on Henley and was attempting to rape and torture him along with other victims when Henley took Corll's gun and shot him. How the that not know about this case? All right, I know y' all getting tired of hearing this. Elmer Hill Henley killed the Candyman. What's the story?

All. I mean, physical fireminds want to know. I want to know where it happened. Holy. This happened in Houston. So Elmer Wayne Henley Jr. Is an American serial killer and accomplice to murder. Convicted in 1974 of the murder of six of the 29 known victims of the Houston mass murders, which occurred in Houston and pasadena, Texas, between 1970 and 1973. Wow. Y', all, can you imagine that? There's no Internet. There's no way to get it around except for two TV stations and a radio. And these people are out there mass murdering. He was born in 1956 in Houston, Texas. Says he's incarcerated. And they said his motive was self preservation, sadism, loyalty and financial gain. And he got convicted. You know, just let me read to you. So. One of the two known accomplices to Dean Corll Henley initially assisted Coral and the abduction of the victims before gradually and increasingly participating in their torture, murder and burial. He shot Coral to death on August 8, 1973 when he was 17 years old, before divulging his knowledge of and participation in the crimes to the authorities. They tried him in San Antonio and Henley was convicted of six murders and sentenced to six consecutive terms of 99 years imprisonment. He was not charged with the death of Coral, which prosecutors have previously ruled had been committed in self defense. Henley did successfully appeal his conviction, although he was again convicted of six murders in June of 1979. And he is currently incarcerated in the Telford unit in Bowie County, Texas. You know what? Fuck that. I think if you, you, you get found guilty and you appeal your shit because whatever stupid thing it is, or especially if you take a plea bargain and you come back and try it, it's not double jeopardy because you got it thrown out and, and let's, let's roll back with it. We're going for the death penalty, but I guess there's a bunch of poor victims, but we'll see. At the time of discovery the crimes, the case was considered the worst example of serial murder in the United States history. I don't know, I don't know about this or I probably do just in passing, they said as a child Henley was born to his parents and that both his parents were teenagers when he was born. As a child, Henley was an avid reader and they said he was both an attentive and academically achieving student whose grades saw him typically in the top quarter of his class. He was also markedly religious and briefly held an aspiration to become a preacher. Did I ever tell you all, I want to be a preacher? But as his Christians, as his mother and grandparents were devout Christians, this religious devotion was encouraged. Now, Henley's father was an alcoholic and an adulterer who physically assaulted his wife and sons. And the children were largely raised by their mother and maternal grandparents. As a child, Henley strove to protect his mother from his father's violence. And she in turn was very protective of her children, Mama Baron, and often shielded them from her husband's violence. On one occasion as a kid, Henley observed his father Striking his mother before pushing her into a corner to continue his assault. He successfully prevented his father from further hitting his mother by pointing a shotgun at his father and shouting, drop it, dad. Although his memories of his father were conflicted, he would later find the remark of his early childhood. I have memories of my father welcomed me to school in a Cub Scouts and Boy Scout activities. I went to work with him and he'd tell me about boilers and air conditioners. Yeah, but you forgot about him beating the out of you and your mama and putting a shotgun on him. But although Henley's father mistreated and neglected his family, he was present throughout his son's childhood and early adolescence. And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. He was occasionally bullied at school. Blah, blah, blah. He was popular among many of his peers. He was attracted to the attitudes of the contemporary hippie movement of the late 60s and early 70s. All right, I'm not gonna read you all this. I mean it's a lot they talk about his adolescence, his teen years. His parents got divorced in 1970. He grew a disillusion from school. He, he quit school and now he's, he's the chief bread earner in the home. As a male. He's got two part time jobs and he developed a habit of drinking alcohol and smoking weed in addition to becoming a small time drug dealer. So talks about his mom, his dad, blah blah blah on set on. Henley's father did arrive uninvited on one occasion. He in of the. Oh, I'm sorry. It was a reception for Henley's mother's second marriage and his dad showed up. On this occasion, Henley attempted to persuade his father to leave. His father shoved him to the ground and then ran to retrieve a gun from his car and attempted to shoot his son. He wounded a friend who threw himself atop Henley to shield him from his father in the process. Henley's father was charged with attempted murder for this incident. He, and guess what? Henley refused to testify against him in court. So he walked free anyway. He developed a minor criminal record, including he was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and a burglary. He said after he dropped out of high school, he became aware of a insidious pattern of disappearances in his neighborhood since the previous December. A minimum eight boys aged 13 to 17 to disappear from Houston Heights. Got to raise my hand on that one y'. All. If you're a fucking cop working in Houston, I know you don't have ncic, you don't have a computer. You only getting so many reports to Come in. I would imagine Houston has their detectives broken down by section. You got 13 to 17 boys go missing from one neighborhood in, in less than a year. You don't think you have a fucking problem. It's crazy, but so 13 to 17 to disappear from Houston Heights. Henley had been a lifelong friend with one of the youths, 13 year old David William Hillygas, who disappeared on the afternoon of May 29, 1971 while walking to the Bohemian Lodge swimming pool with a 16 year old friend, Gregory Winkle. Henley himself had actively participated in the search for the two, including he went out and distributed flowers offering a thousand dollar reward, blah blah blah and nothing, right? So look, basically when he he's skipping school, he hadn't dropped out yet. At this point he met a senior named David Owen Brooks and he was going to Hamilton Junior High. And he said he walked away from the entrance in the direction of a local pool hall. Brooks fell and stride alongside him and asked him if he was skipping school too. Henley said yeah, I am. Brooks offered to keep him company for the day, adding he also attended Hamilton Junior High and that the pool hall was also his intended destination. Well, guess what? Birds of feather flock together and they began to randomly truant from together from school. You skip school y'. All. And through his acquaintance with Brooks, Henley became aware that not only did his friend Drive a 1969 Chevrolet Corvette and always seemed to have money despite his not having a job and his family came from modest beans, but he spent a lot of his free time in the company of an older man with whom he himself gradually became a casual acquaintance. And we know him as Dean Corll, right Coral, you know, I understand. And he killed him and he got away with it on self defense, whatever, but they should all got the death penalty. I'm gonna just keep telling you about it. So they said. Initially, Henley was oblivious to a true extent of Coral and Brooks relationship. Although Brooks and Coral began making a point of meeting him at the gas station where he worked part time just to get together and shoot the y'. All. Henley later stated that though he admired Coral because he worked hard and seemed to have his life in order, he also suspected that Coral was a homosexual and initially concluded that Brooks was hustling himself a queer. That's the y'. All. This is not my words. I don't use it, whatever. I'm reading it to you off the paper. So as Henley began to spend more time in their company, he also became aware of stark contrast in corl's Persona. Much of the Time, Corl was affable and somewhat childlike, leading both Henley and Brooks to nickname him Deanie Weenie. But occasionally he would be agitated, serious, and chain smoke. On one occasion in the winter of 1971-72, Brooks informed Henley that if he was able to leave his home without telling anyone where he was going, he and Corll would pick him up behind the Fulbright Methodist Church, which closest home at 5pm that afternoon. Henley agreed. Brooks and Corll picked him up at the agreed time and drove him to Corll's address. And now he thinks that he was likely going to be a victim for him. But in his confession given almost two years later, Henley told the detectives that Brooks lured him to Corll's home on the promise that he could participate in a quotation a deal where I can make some money. However, this initial plan was thwarted when Henley informed Corll that contrary to Brooks prior instructions not to do so, he had informed his mother and grandmother he was leaving the family home in Brooks's company to meet him for the first time. Well, can't kill him now, can you? Despite the initial setback, Corll evidently decided the youth would make a good accomplice. And Henley soon began spending increasing amounts of time and Corll's company and gradually began to view him as something of a brother type person whose worth I think he admired and in whom he could confide. Corll also allowed Henley, who had no driver's license, to occasionally drive his Plymouth gtx. When initially Corll told Henley that he was involved in organized theft and he if he had anything of value, stolen or otherwise, to sell to him, he would be able to resell the wares for his own profit. Well, he and Brooks and Henley burglarized several local addresses for which Henley was paid small sums of money. Shortly thereafter, Coral suggested Henley he should advance from burglary to become some more serious crimes. Once you graduate, little homie, we're going to bring you up. On one occasion, in an apparent test of character, Cor asks Henley if he would be willing to kill if cornered while burglarizing a property. And Henley said, yeah. Shortly thereafter, as Corll and Henley sat in the vehicle at the corner 11th and Heights Boulevard, Corll said teenager, you know, it's too bad there's not a market in people. They're everywhere, right? When kill people make money. Over the course of several subsequent conversations, Coral repeatedly referred to the topic of human trafficking before telling Henley that he was involved in a white slavery ring.

Operating from Dallas, in which teenage boys were sold as houseboys to wealthy clients across the country and that he would pay him $200. Now, $200 in y' all is equivalent to $1,670 today, but he's going to pay him $200 for any teenage boy he could lure to his apartment in Coral called his criminal organization the Syndicate. Right. I mean, idiots. But let's talk about the first abduction. They said Henley has always insisted that he ignored Coral's offer of 200 for every boy he could lure to his apartment for several months, but that in Approximately February of 1972, he decided he had helped find a boy for Coral as his family was in dire financial circumstances. Yeah, motherfucker, why don't you get a job? According to Henley's subsequent confession, he resolved to participate in a soul abduction as he could use the money to get better things for my family. So one day I went over to Dean's place on Shore street and I told him I would get a boy for him. At Corll's home, Henley agreed to enact a previous ruse he and Corll had privately rehearsed in which they would lure a youth to Corll's home and Henley would then cuff his hands behind his back, release himself with the key and discreetly hidden in his pocket, then conned the victim into placing the handcuffs upon himself. The pair then drove around the Heights to search for a victim. At the corner of 11th and Suit Wood. Henler persuaded a dark haired youth to enter Corll's Plymouth gtx. The victim agreed to accompany the two to Corll's apartment on the promise of smoking some marijuana at Corll's address. He, Henley, helped con the teenager into putting on the handcuffs, then watched Coral pounce On the eve he binds his hands and his feet with parachute cord, then placed adhesive tape over his mouth. Brooks then drove Henley home, telling him the syndicate did not yet know of his participation and thus he should not be present when they arrived to collect the captive. Well, you can imagine what really happened, y'. All. And the next day Corll paid Henley $200 and informing him the teenager had been sold into slavery, into the slavery ring as a houseboy. Henley said he gave most of the money to his mother, but he also bought himself a Sheridan air rifle. And the the identity of his first victim is still unknown. Okay, well, let's move forward. One month. One month later, on the evening of March 24th of 72, Henley is again riding with Coral and Brooks. And they come across 18 year old acquaintance of his named Frank Anthony Aguirre. And he was leaving a restaurant on Yale street where he worked at. Maguire was persuaded to accompany Henley to Corl's home on the promise of drinking beer and smoking marijuana with them, where I agreed and followed the three to Corl's home in his own vehicle, which was a Rambler. Inside Coral's house, Aguirre smoked marijuana with the three before picking up a pair of handcuffs Corll had deliberately left on the table. In response, Corll pounced on Aguirre, pushed him on the table and cuffed his hands behind his back. Henley later claimed that he had not known Coral's true attentions towards Aguirre when he persuaded his friend to accompany him to Corll's home. And to still at this stage be obvious to Corll's true intentions toward teenagers. Here Brooks brought to him, he already told you you're in the syndicate, which is a lie. But yeah, you didn't know, maybe you didn't know he was going to rape and murder him, but you know, you got paid 200 to lure somebody in and you got a wire over there, you're expecting your 200 bucks, but now he's jumped on him. And. They said when he started, when Coral started, he attempted to dissuade Coral from raping and killing Aguirre. But Coral was like you, I'm about to get mine. And informed Henley that he raped, tortured and killed the previous victim he had assisted in abducting. And the Aguirre was to suffer the same fate. Brooks then drove Henley home. At what point do you pick up the phone and call the police? Well, the following evening Henley assisted Coral and Brooks in burying Aguirre's body at High island beach corn. Brooks later informed Henley that his childhood friend David Hillygus and Hilly guest swimming companion Gregory Mallory Winkle had also died at his hands. And that is such A there was no use in his continuing to search for him. Yeah, because I raped and murdered them too. Well, despite the revelations to reality of the fate the boys brought to Coral, Henley continued to assist in the abductions and murders. And less than one month later, Henley lured a 17 year old youth whom both he and Brooks knew well. And his name was Mark Steven Scott. He lowered him to Corll's apartment. Scott was specifically chosen by Coral to be his next victim, as he occasionally sold stolen property to Corll and had recently cheated Coral on a deal, thus causing Coral to hold extreme animosity towards him. He's full of shit. He just wanted to rape and murder him. So according to Henley, shortly prior to the seduction, either he or Corll had accidentally been burned themselves on one of Henley's incense cones. And this incident had inspired Coral to torture Scott via this method. Oh, you know what? That burn hurt from where you're burning your incense. Let's torture Scott with it. On April 20, Henley encountered Scott walking down a Heights Alleyway close to 23rd Street. And he persuaded him to accompany him to Corll's apartment. Scott was grabbed by force, but you know what? He fought furiously against attempts and by Coral and Brooks to restrain him. And he even attempted to stab Coral with a knife the following morning after several hours of abuse and torture. Right, so he didn't give up. After they raped him all night, he still tried to stab him with a knife. I wish he'd have stabbed him in the eye. But. However, according to Brooks, Scott just gave up after seeing Henley Point a 22 caliber pistol toward him. And that, as had been the case with Frank Aguirre, Scott was strangled and buried at High Island Beach. Although on this occasion, Henley strangled Scott in an unconsciousness with a length of cord before Coral completed the murder. So he's just as guilty. Brooks later stated Henley was especially sadistic in his participation in the murders at Corll's place. And Henley later admitted to gradually becoming fascinated with how much stamina people could have when they were being subjected to the act of murder. With Corll alternately bestowing praise on his accomplices and go in them, but particularly Henley to prove their loyalty and worth to him. On May 21, Henley entered Corll's apartment to observe two heights use Billie Jean Balch, who's 17, and Johnny Ray Delome who's 16. And they're socializing with Coral and Brooks. Well, you, you know what happens next. He assisted Corll and Brooks in subduing the teenagers, both of whom were bound then tied to Corll's bed. Corll then suggested Henley sexually assault one boy while he assaulted the other. But Henley refused. And I don't, I don't believe that. And I think he absolutely took part, but he's got to protect his own prison route. But Henry refused. Both were then forced to write letters to their parents dated May 23 and posted from Madisonville, claiming they had found employment with a truck driver loading and unloading from Houston to Washington. And then after they wrote the letters, Coral raped them prior to them being tortured. In Brooks confession, he stated that both youths were tied to Coral's bed. And after the torture and rape. Can you imagine? After their torture and rape, Henley strangled Balch to death with the process lasting almost 30 minutes. He then shouted hey Johnny. And he shot the lone in the forehead of Coral's.22 caliber pistol, but the bullet exiting through the youth's ear. Several minutes later, Delone pleaded with Henley, Wayne, please don't. What? They didn't listen to him because then he was strangled to death by both Corll and Henley. And both youths were later buried at High Island Beach. Now y', all, why in the didn't this, these people get the death penalty? In part due to the fact that Mark Scott had managed to partially free himself while bound and had almost succeeded in stabbing Coral. In Approximately June of 72, Coral constructed a plywood torture board measuring 8ft by 2 1/2ft with handcuffs and ropes affixed to the sides of each corner. And naturally this was going to be used to restrain the victims, right, so you can't get out and stab them. A hole was drilled in the top center board in order that the device could be hung up on the wall. Wow, this is so fucking bizarre. Then many future victims were restrained to this device as opposed to Corll's bed or other devices. And only occasions were Coral restrained two victims to this device, one would be forced to watch the abuse inflicted upon the other to increase the victim's psychological torture. Okay, so he's graduating, right? They're graduating, graduating in the rapes, the graduating in their perfection of the restraints and everything. And they're just rolling with it. The summer through the winter of 72, Coral moved to an apartment at Westcott Towers. In June of 72. And with one within one month, on July 19, a 17 year old teenager named Stephen Kent Sickman had been murdered by strangulation and buried in a boat shed that Coral had rented in southwest Houston. His murder was followed approximately one month later by that of 19 year old Roy Eugene Bunton who was bound, gagged with a section of Turkish towel and adhesive tape, then killed by two gunshots to the head before also being buried in the same boat shed. Neither victim was named or referenced by either accomplice and it is unknown whether Hintley or Brooks assisted with either abduction or murder. Oh, come on. It's his. It's his boat shed. They've been. They've been his accomplices all along. Henley and Brooks have. And Henley's taken in the murders and the rapes and everything else. Why, he's going to move to bed dead bodies by himself and bury him in the boat shed? I think not. On October 3rd, Henley and Brooks abducted two heist boys named Wally J. Simoneau and Richard Edward Hembury as they walked home from Hamilton Junior High School. Both were enticed in the book Chevrolet Corvette and driven a Coral's Westcott Towers address that evening. Simoneau is known to have phoned his mother Mildred and have shouted the word mama into the receiver before the connection was terminated. At approximately 7:00am the following day, Henry was accidentally shot in the mouth by Henley, who according to Brooks's confession, just came in the room where the two boys were bound and was waving the.22 and accidentally shot one of the boys in the jaw.

The bullet exit Henry's neck and although they kept them both alive for approximately 12 further hours, torturing and raping them before they were strangled to death that evening. And they were later, guess what? Buried in the same boat shed. That's four. Four dead bodies in the boat shed. Now one month later on November 11th, a 19 year old named Richard Allen Kepner was abducted while walking to call his fiance from a pay phone. Y' all don't remember those that we used to have to use and we didn't have cell phones. Kepner was from Humble, Texas, but he had rocked relocated to Spring Branch shortly before his disappearance because he was going to train as a carpenter's helper. His strangled body was buried at Highland Beach. I guess the boat shed was too full. And Henley is known to have assisted Coral Brooks in this particular abduction murder. I'm pretty sure at this point they're not doing one without the rest of their crew, right? 1973, January 20, 1973, Coral moved to the Princessa Apartments on Work road in Houston. Two weeks later on February 3rd, he abducted and killed 17 year old Joseph Allen Lyles, Luff, Coral and Brooks for several months prior to his disappearance. And he had lived on the same street upon which Brooks did in earliest 1973. According to Brooks, Corll had wanted him to assist in restraining Lyles, but he refused. In response, Coral overpowered and bound the team before Brooks left Corll's apartment. Lyle's body was later buried on a sand bank on Jefferson County Beach. Again. I guess the beach is too full now, right? One month later, March 1, Coral moves again and he moved to an apartment on South Post Oak Road. Then he moved into his father's residence on Lamar Drive in Pasadena. Coral briefly lived with his father, stepmother Half brother at this address before they all left the property. I guess you, you pay one month's rent and you're not going to pay the second. You stay there as long as you can. So wow, this is bizarre. They said distance and efforts. Lyle's deduction of murder was committed without the assistance or knowledge of Henley, who has spontaneously chosen to travel from Texas to Florida with his uncle who's a long trial a long haul truck driver. Henley did try to divulge Coral's crimes and his involvement in them to his uncle. But he simply believed Henley was either morbidly fantasizing or had a psychiatric disorder. And he told Henley, you get your ass back to your mama. Weeks after returning to Houston, Henley traveled to Mount Pleasant in a further effort to distance himself from Coral. Two weeks later he got a phone call from David Brooks, which Coral got him to make. And Brooks stated he could not guarantee the safety of one of his younger brothers or the younger brother of David Hilling. Guess if he didn't come home. So Henley returned to live with his mother in 73. There's a whole bunch of other shit. Henley tried to join the the U.S. navy. He got rejected because he was colorblind. He says all this furthermore Aleo later intelligence tested his IQ to be 126. He had dropped out of high school and didn't whatever whatever he couldn't get in the military. So we'll fast forward to On Monday June 4, 1973 Coral ordered Henley to bring him a boy. In response, Henley lured a 15 year old friend of his named William Ray Lawrence to Corll's Pasadena residence upon the promise of fishing with himself and Coral at Lake Sam Rayburn. Lawrence last phone his father state he and some friends were traveling to Lake Sam Raver but he would return to Houston in two, three days, maybe Thursday. And due to the fact that Coral really liked Lawrence, the teenager was kept alive for three days throughout which he was continually bound to Corl's bed. I guess when he moved out one of his other apartments he got rid of his torture board. But after three days of abuse and torture, Lawrence was strangled to death with ligature. And they buried his body close to a dirt road at Lake Sam Rayburn. There you go. Less than two weeks later, a 20 year old married man from Baton Rouge named Raymond Stanley Blackburn was abducted while hitchhiking from the Heights to Louisiana to see his wife and newborn child. He was strangled to death by Coral and buried at Lake Sam Rayburn. Blackburn had arrived in Houston three months before his Abduction to work on a construction project. Three weeks later on July 6, Henley began attending classes at the coaches driving school in Bel Air Texas where he became acquainted with a 15 year old named Homer Luis Garcia. The following day Garcia calls his mama to say he was spending the night with a friend from the driving school who he refused to name. Guess what he was in? Shot and left to bleed to death in Coral's bathtub before his body was buried at lake Sam Rayburn. Five days later on July 12, 17 year old youth and U. S. Marine named John Manning Sellers was shot to death with a rifle and buried at the back of the high island beach. Now paraphrasing the I'm sure the rape and torture is is a huge part of all this. It said. The day after Sellers disappearance, Brooks married his pregnant 15 year old fiance Bridget Clark. The two moved into an apartment together although he continued to run with Coral and Henley. On July 19th Coral and Henley came across 15 year old Michael Anthony, the Balch younger brother of their previous victim Billy Bolch. And he was walking home from the barbershop and he got lured to Corll's residence, we don't know how. And he was strangled to death with a cord before his body was buried at Lake san Rayburn just 10ft from the body of Homer Garcia. Six days later on Corll's instruction, Henley lured two Heights youths named Charles Cary Cobbler was 17 and Marty Ray Jones is 18 to Corl's home. The three were last seen by a friend of Henley's named Johnny Rania walking in single file along 27th Street. Two days later Jones was strangled to death as Cobble, observing his friend's murder went into cardiac arrest. That's kind of hard to do for an 18 year old. But Cordell ordered him to stop. He said you can't have a heart attack stop. He then shot Kabul twice in the head. Henley buried buried them in the center of Coral's boat chest. We're back to the boat shed and now I got six bodies in it. With Coral briefly locking himself inside the shed while he retrieved bags of lime to spread over the bodies. Jesus Louise, y', all, I could do this forever. The there's many many more victims. It just goes on and on and on. His 13 year old boy named Jan Stanton, Jeremiah who they got riding his bicycle and he was tied to Corals torture board. Raped, tortured and strangled with a cord before being buried close to the entrance of the boat shed. Because remember now the boat shed has got like six to eight bodies in it. Fast forward a little bit more. Henley invited 20 year old Timothy Cordell Curley to Coral's house. And you know what happened next, right? The they drank alcohol and. And then they tortured him, murdered him, etc. Then the two they, they ran across a 15 year old Rhonda Luis Williams and they. She had been beaten by her drunken father that evening and was term run away from home. Well guess what they did to her and it picked her up and brought her Coral's home. They began sniffing pain, etc. Etc. Henley said he woke to find himself gagged and pinned face down with Coral placing handcuffs upon his wrist. Curly and Williams had each been bound and gagged and lay alongside Henley on the floor with Curly having been stripped naked. Cora informed Henley he was furious he had brought a girl to his home, thus thwarting his plans to assault and torture Curly, stating man, you blew it bringing that girl. Before repeatedly kicking Williams in the chest. The female and shouting wake up. When all three had awoken, Coral began shouting as he waved an 18 inch hunting knife at the trio, saying I'm gonna kill you all, but first I'm gonna have my fun. He then dragged Henley into his kitchen and placed a 22 caliber pistol against his stomach, threatening to shoot him. Henley pled for his life, promised participate in torture murder. The others of Coral released him after several minutes. Coral agreed and he untied Henley and then they separately they carried Curly and Williamson to his bedroom and tied them to opposite sides of the plywood torture board. Oh God. Then now y', all, they've got the plywood torture board above a level a layer of plastic sheeting, you know, to keep the blood up and shut. Carly was on the stomach, Williams on her back. He then placed a transistor radio attached to a pair of dry cells between Curly and William before turning the volume to maximum to drown out any shouting and screaming. This is kind of shit you see in horror movies. Henley was handed a long hunting knife by Corll who ordered him to cut away William's clothes, insisting that he would rape and kill Curly and ordering Henley to do likewise to William, shouting what are you waiting for? Henley then began cutting off William's trousers and underwear as Corll placed the pistol upon a bedside table and undressed and climbed on top of Curly to rape him. And as Coral began raping Curly and torturing him, Henley continued cutting away the female's clothes, William's clothes with the hunting knife. As he did so, Williams, whose gag had been removed, lifted her head and asked Henley, is this for real? Henry replied in an affirmative. Williams asked, are you going to do anything about it? When he said this statement unnerved him, but evidently it inspired him to act. After standing and pacing the room for several minutes as he huffed from a sack of acrylic paint fumes, he observed the pistol Corll had placed on the bedside table. After asking Corll, hey Dean, why don't you let me take the chick in the other room? She don't want to see any of this. And he got no response. Henley grabbed the pistol and ordered Corll to stop what he was doing, shouting, you've gone far enough, Dean. I can't go any longer. I can't have you kill all my friends. Well, even though he had the pistol pointed at him, Cal wasn't scared and he climbed off of Curly from raping him, stood slowly and walked towards Henley. Sheldon Kill me Wayne. You won't do it. Well, guess what? He five fold and Henley fired a round of Coral and hit him smack dead in the forehead. As Coral continued to advance upon him, Henley fired a further two rounds into his left shoulder, one of which perpetrated his lung and lodged in the spine. Coral began coughing up blood as he ran out of the ring, trapping his foot in a rotary telephone wire and staggering toward the wall of the hallway. Henley isn't done yet. Now he's got it on his mind. He fires a three additional bullets into Coral Coral's lower back as Coral slid down the wall and he died. And that's it. I don't even talk anymore about these the so they gave it to him as self defense. He got multiple multiple life sentences. I don't know. I think that has to be if you got that many kids man, all the same age group, all whatever. And this way before everything we have Now, I don't know, 29, 30 of them in the same neighborhood. That's got to be I don't know of anybody who has tag Team zero killed more people than that. I don't know. Anyway, I love and appreciate each and every one of y'.
